Servicing a Seiko 6105-8110 Diver Vintage Watch

by Eric GreenbergSeptember 14, 2018

This very cool Seiko 6105-8110 diver watch from fellow Instagram’er @mleong6 came limping-into the ClockSavant watch emergency rooms. Barely running and its owner wanting water resistance, this watch was fully serviced and is now running like a new watch. While I advise against, and do not warrant, swimming in vintage watches, this watch passed the 100 meter (10 bar) water resistance test for swimming and water sports after the case was fully dissembled, cleaned, and all seals replaced. There’s something about well worn watches after work is put into them— they have a unique presence to them that shines-through and are a symbol of survival and perseverance through obstacles and the passage of time. The ClockSavant Instagram page always has the latest blog entries and newly available watches.
